DJ to Produce and Release Album

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla.—Most people know him as a DJ and event promoter, but DJ Lecz is embarking on a venture that could bring attention to the urban Latino music emitting from the Gulf Coast.

Last weekend, Lecz traveled to South Florida with local artists to film a video for the title track of his album. “El Intro al Inicio” (“The Intro to the Beginning”) is the name of what Lecz is calling his video trailer for his debut album, “El Inicio,” which features a variety of guest artists. Rickyto, Rudo, Samurai, J Mago, Shaiko, Zul2 (Zul Dos) Baby D and Jay el Rebelde are a culturally diverse collaboration Lecz assembled from Alabama, Orlando, Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola, New York and Puerto Rico.

Music and film, he says, have always been his passion. Growing up in the Bronx, Lecz was exposed to producing entertainment. He now wants to go beyond mixing music and promoting events to producing music and he is starting with artists who are closest to him.

The music to the video trailer is equally diverse by design.

“I chose them specifically because each one brought a different style into ‘El Intro,’” Lecz said. “I wanted to create a little friendly competition but be supportive of each other.”

Lecz says he plans to focus on music by Rickyto and J Mago on the remaining tracks of the album with intent to help polish their skills. The album will consist of primarily Spanish language reggaetón and trap music but with a bit of a softer tone than “El Inicio.”

The “El Intro” video will be available on YouTube on October 29, and song on Sound Cloud and Spotify under DJ Lecz. The album is scheduled to launch on iTunes in March 2018 for 99 cents with singles released monthly leading up to its release.

Jay el Rebelde and Rickyto will perform at the Latino Festival in Pensacola on November 5 as regulars to the annual event. The possibility of a group performance from this venture is still being discussed.
